76,000,000 Documented decisions for Christ

DAR ES SALAAM, TANZANIA

EXTRAORDINARY DAYS!

August 22, 2013

Dear Mission Partners,

The first night of our Gospel Campaign here in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania has just come to a close. This morning, as Rev. Peter van den Berg and I preached to the delegates in the Fire Conference, it started to rain. I wondered how the people would respond to such an inconvenience. But rather than running away, they simply held their plastic chairs over their heads as umbrellas and continued listening! This is one of the many reasons I love Africa. The people are hungry for God and for His Word. I am sure that they are going to be mightily blessed this week.

Tonight, I preached on the Blood of Jesus and there was an overwhelming response to the message. Demons were cast out, curses broken, diseases and infirmities healed, but best of all, many thousands received Jesus Christ and made Him Lord of their lives.

Because of the rain, our sound system had difficulties. Just as I was about to make the altar call, the sound completely died! I simply stood still on the platform waiting for the power to return. The massive crowd, rather than growing restless or dispersing, began to worship the Lord, then a chant was started and soon the whole crowd was shouting, 'Je-sus, Je-sus, Je-sus' it was remarkable. We are truly living in extraordinary days of harvest. Oh, what a joy!

Tonight a woman with painful breast cancer was instantly healed. She wept for joy as she told us that all symptoms had completely vanished! Another woman was healed of brain cancer. Cripples walked and many demoniacs were delivered. This is only the first night and I can tell already this is going to be a special week!

Thank you for your continued prayers.

Yours in the Gospel,

UNPRECEDENTED CHURCH UNITY

August 23, 2013

Dear Mission Partners,

We are rejoicing again tonight with thousands that found salvation and freedom here in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. I preached a very strong message of repentance and told the people that it's not enough just to pray a prayer following Jesus means that your life must change.  I could almost feel the conviction falling on many people as the Holy Spirit took over and drew them to Jesus. I love to preach the simple Gospel. It is truly the power of God unto salvation.

One of the local pastors told me tonight that this campaign has had an unexpected side effect. He told me that the churches of many different denominations and backgrounds are working together in a way that is unprecedented. He thanked us for this blessing, I pass his gratitude along to you.

Before we could hear testimonies of healing tonight, the police shut the meeting down because of the time, which was apparently past a local curfew.  One officer stood behind me on the platform until I closed the meeting. But when I asked the people to indicate who had been healed by a show of hands, literally thousands of hands went up, Praise the Lord!

Tomorrow is the final Fire Conference meeting and we are anticipating a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Thank you for continuing to pray for us.

Yours in the Gospel,

A SNAKE SPIT IN HER EYE!

August 24, 2013

Dear Mission Partners,

We are rejoicing tonight. So many wonderful miracles and salvations, heaven is kissing earth here in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. A woman told us that many years ago a black snake had spit into her eye. It became swollen and soon went blind. Tonight she received her sight. Another woman, deaf in the left ear for more than 20 years said that she had a sensation as though something coming out of her ear during the prayer. She asked her friend to speak into the ear and was amazed to discover she could hear perfectly! Another woman, paralysed on the right side, was healed as well as a little boy who was in the hospital yesterday and received his healing in the hospital as they listened to the live meeting broadcast over the radio! Jesus is so amazing. There is no limit to His power or His love.

This morning was also the final meeting of the Fire Conference. After Rev. Peter van den Berg finished preaching, the hunger of the delegates was like a pent up flood. Soon the dam had burst and the power of the Holy Spirit flowed across the field like a river.

There is only one more meeting tomorrow night. Please continue to pray. The harvest is ripe.

Yours in the Gospel,

NEARLY 5,000 NEW CONVERTS IN ONE CHURCH!

August 25, 2013

Dear Mission Partners,

Tonight our Gospel Campaign came to a climax here in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. It has been an amazing week, the name of Jesus has been glorified, the sick have been healed, demons have been cast out, curses have been broken and thousands have been born again. Praise the Lord!

This being Sunday, the participating churches have already gotten a taste of the fruit from this week. Pastors told us that their churches were overflowing with new converts today, in fact one of the pastors just told me that he had over 4,900 converts in his church alone this morning! Although the campaign has ended, the work is just beginning for the body of Christ here in Dar Es Salaam that will be following up and discipline these new converts. What a joy to work in these ripe harvest fields of the world.

In addition to the hundreds of thousands who were present on the field this week, the meetings were broadcast LIVE on national radio and television. We heard that many people were healed in their homes and even in the hospital as they listened and watched the broadcast. One woman said that when she heard me pray on the radio last night she begin to tremble and a tumour that she had carried for 4 years fell out of her body!

We thank God that we have been able to impact a city and a nation with the Gospel. I want to once again say Thank You to YOU, our family around the world that carries this work forward through your prayers and finances. You can't imagine how much you are blessing so many precious lives. We love you and thank God for each and every one of you.

Yours in the Gospel,
